President Joe Biden has pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, who was convicted on tax evasion and federal gun charges and is due for sentencing in December. Despite previous assurances from the White House that the president had no intentions of pardoning his son, the announcement came through on Sunday evening. President Biden cited a “miscarriage of justice” and mentioned political opponents in Congress for instigating the charges against Hunter Biden. The younger Biden was found guilty on three felony counts related to firearm possession while addicted to drugs and had agreed to plead guilty to nine tax-related charges. Following the pardon, Hunter Biden’s legal team filed notices with the courts to dismiss the pending cases.
